The sun was setting in the west and we were on the porch Before we poured a second whiskey crashing sounds were heard Time to go get up growled Bob as he got up to leave He headed out to Blind Joe’s Curve just down the road a piece Heading out to Blind Joe’s Curve just down the road a piece
I got my barrow waiting outside tore right after Bob I knew whoever got there first got bragging rights for sure It happens every now and then the sun sets in that bend Catching drivers unawares they miss whole lot a things Catching drivers unawares they scatter lots of things
Now Bennie took the hindmost with his polyester bags The big kind, matching luggage, they hold a pile of swag Bob and me and Bennie made the curve in seconds flat Cried eureka all at once so much to carry back We cried eureka all at once so much to carry back
Strewn there on the road before us liquor by the case The truck had stopped just off the curve a little up the way The driver gestured on his phone as he was calling in While I just calmly filled my barrow bottles to the brim While I just calmly filled my barrow bottles to the brim
A toast to Bob and Bennie and a big one to our curve It takes a bit of vigilance, some quickness and some nerve A county slow with maintenance means much drinking on the porch And when we’re out we know that we can always get some more Yes when we’re out we know where we can always get some more
Bob dug the road holes in the curve himself a few years back Now we’re better for his vision and the things that we can tax We use our fancy tollbooth to collect what we pick up Just some things in Blind Joe’s Curve that tumble off a truck Just some things in Blind Joe’s Curve that tumble off a truck
So thank you Bob And Blind Joe’s curve For everything in Blind Joe’s Curve that tumbles off a truck For everything in Blind Joe’s Curve that tumbles off a truck

If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
